With the guidance of trained mental health care experts, this session will review the prevalence and types of mental health stressors and challenges that allied health and nursing professionals may face in their everyday clinical practice working within pediatric solid organ transplantation. We will support the attendees to recognise the early signs and symptoms of burnout and secondary trauma and suggest strategies to address this within the workplace. There will be a focus on the practice of accessible self care for the health care provider to integrate into everyday life. This will foster a more productive work-life balance, with the goal of minimising mental health risks and allow for longer term positive well being.

Session Goals:
1) To describe the prevalence, early signs and symptoms, and longer term impact of professional burnout and secondary trauma
2) To support the development of work-life balance through the teaching of positive self care strategies
